In this work, the effect of ion bombardment on the optical properties of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was studied. Polymer samples were implanted with 500 keV Cu+ ions with a fluence ranging from 1 × 1012 to 1 × 1014 ions/cm2. X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) study indicated a relatively lower variation with a higher dose of ions. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra exhibited that with the implantation of Cu ions the intensity of existing bands decreases, while the result confirms the existence of a C=C group. The pristine and ion-implanted samples were also investigated using photoluminescence (PL) and Ultra Violet-Visible (UV-VIS) spectra. The optical band gap (Eg) was observed up to 3.05 eV for the implanted samples, while the pristine sample exhibited a wide energy-gap up to ~3.9 eV. The change in the optical gap indicated the presence of a gradual phase transition for the polymer blends. The dielectric measurements of the pristine and Cu-implanted PMMA were investigated in the 10 Hz to 2 GHz frequency range. It was found that the implanted samples showed a significant decrease in the value of the dielectric constant. The value of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PMMA and Cu-implanted samples at a 1-kHz frequency were found to be ~300 and 29, respectively. The modification of the PMMA energy bandgap in the current research suggested the potential use of Cu implanted PMMA in the field of optical communications and flexible electronic devices.

The concept of ionicity has been developed by Phillips and Van Vechten from the dielectric analysis of the semiconductors and insulators to evaluate various bond parameters of binary tetrahedral (AIIBVI and AIIIBV) semiconductors. In this paper, an advance hypothesis of average atomic number of the elements in a compound has been used to evaluate intrinsic electronic and optical parameters such as ionic gap (Ec), average energy gap (Eg), crystal ionicity (fi) and dielectric constant (ϵ) of binary tetrahedral semiconductors.

We report structural analysis, surface morphology, magnetic ordering, dielectric response, optical feature and the electronic structure of the Dy2BiFeO6 novel complex perovskite. The samples were produced by the standard solid-state reaction recipe. Crystallographic analysis was performed by Rietveld refinement of experimental X-ray diffraction patterns. Results show that this material crystallizes in a perovskite with orthorhombic structure, which corresponds to the Pnma (#62) space group. From the Curie-Weiss fitting on the curve of susceptibility as a function of temperature we establish that the ordering corresponds to a paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition, with a Weiss temperature q=-18,5 K, which is compatible with the behavior of the inverse of susceptibility as a function of temperature, and a Néel temperatura TN=50,8 K. The Curie constant allowed for us to obtain an effective magnetic moment of 15,7 mB. The result of magnetization as a function of the applied field, measured at T=50 K, shows a magnetic hysteresis behavior that corroborate the magnetic ordering present for this temperature value. Measurements of the dielectric constant as a function of applied frequencies at room temperature give as a result a high relative dielectric constant (e=780). The reflectance curve as a function of the wavelength reveals the typical behavior of a double perovskite-like material and permits to obtain the energy gap 2,74 eV, which is characteristic of a semiconductor material.

AbstractOptical properties of Si single crystals with different orientations (1 0 0) and (1 1 1) were investigated using spectrophotometric measurements in a spectral range of 200 nm to 2500 nm. The data of optical absorption revealed an indirect allowed transition with energy gap of 1.1 ± 0.025 eV. An anomalous dispersion in refractive index. The normal dispersion of the refractive index was discussed according to Wemple-DiDomenico single oscillator model. The oscillator energy Eo, dispersion energy Ed, high frequency dielectric constant ∈∞, lattice dielectric constant ∈L and electronic polarizability αe were estimated. The real ∈1 and imaginary ∈2 parts of dielectric constant were also determined.

AbstractInvestigation of a family of bulk cubic compounds with general formula AgPbmMS2+m (M = Sb, Bi) is reported. These PbS-based cubic structured quaternary systems combine a set of desirable features for efficient ZT thermoelectric materials for solar thermal power generation. AgPbmMS2+m (M = Sb, Bi) possess an average NaCl structure (Fm-3m symmetry), high melting point (991 - 1095 °C for M = Sb; 865 - 1091 °C for M = Bi), relatively wide energy gap (0.7 > Eg (eV) > 0.39 for both Sb and Bi). The systematic variation of lattice parameters, energy gap and melting point is reported. Preliminary charge transport properties are reported along with variable temperature thermal conductivity data of selected members.

Power electronic modules are key elements in the chain of power conversion. The application areas include aerospace, aviation, railway, electrical distribution, automotive, home automation, oil industry ... But the use of power electronics in high temperature environments is a major strategic issue in the coming years especially in transport. However, the active components based on silicon are limited in their applications and not suitable for those require both high voltages and high ambient temperatures. The materials with wide energy gap like SiC, GaN and diamond, have the advantage of being able to exceed these limits [1,2]. These materials seem adequate to extremely harsh temperature environments and allow the reduction of cooling systems, but also the increasing of switching frequency.

The equilibrium structures of orthorhombic LaCrO3(O-LaCrO3) and rhombohedral LaCrO3(R-LaCrO3) crystals were investigated by using the plane-wave self consistent field (PWSCF) method based on density functional theory (DFT). The optimized lattice parameters for both phases are in accordance with experimental results reported in literature, confirming the reliability of LSDA+U scheme used in the calculations. We have quantificationally investigated the binding energies and electronic properties of these two types of LaCrO3crystals. The negative total energy and binding energies indicate the ground state property and the good structrual stability of O-LaCrO3crystal, which is important for the preparation of nano materials, the synthesis of ceramic materials made of doped O-LaCrO3crytals, as well as their applications in high technology fields, and predict the metastable property of R-LaCrO3crystal. Furthermore, the band structures show that O-LaCrO3is a direct semiconductor with wide energy gap, while R-LaCrO3is an indirect semiconductor with narrow energy gap. The interaction between Cr and O atoms in O-LaCrO3crystal possesses the character of covalent bonding.
